Why is the girl obsessed?

A classic horror film, I was fortunate to enjoy the director's cut version at the 20th Shanghai International Film Festival Shanghai Cinema. Both are the subject of exorcism, but the overall feeling is not as good as Wen Ziren's Soul Conjuring and Hidden series. It may be related to the age. The reason why the girl was possessed was not explained clearly. The guess is related to the small stone carvings excavated by archaeological excavations in northern Iraq at the beginning of the movie. The old priest gave a close-up when he held it in his hand. Similar findings were also found in the nearby grass. Since the old priest had exorcism experience before, it was time to make a prequel to explain more background. Worth a look.
